## About

Homeschool Garden Stewards is a weekly series covering botany, water ecology and environmental science to help young garden scientists become garden stewards. In this session, students collect bird data for the Project FeederWatch citizen science project, contributing real observations to research. It is strictly recommended for homeschoolers ages 9 to 14 with some chaperone help; younger children are directed to other series. All children and adults need pre-registered tickets, which include garden admission.
